Tammy Duckworth actually said...

"My job, my position will be to make sure that we access community providers, that we enter into partnerships with nongovernmental organizations."

"One of the greatest criticisms...was just tell me what I am asking so that I can go about the business of helping veterans."

"I am deeply honored and humbled that President Obama has given me this opportunity to serve our Nation's veterans."

"I hope to approach my job with openness, transparency, and just being always available to be asked questions."
